What is a Key Fob?

If you are a driver, you probably know by now what a key fob is. The small device but the most important accessory for your vehicle that allows you to lock and unlock it when touching its buttons. They are very easy to use, practical and technologically advanced.

Not only does a Key Fob help you to control the remote entry system of your car but also it has several other functionalities depending on how advanced its technology is.

These are:

- Starting the car from far away.
- Controlling the security system of the vehicle.
- Locking and unlocking the trunk, as well as popping the latch.
- Starting the alarm system.
- Controlling the windows automatically.

History of the Key Fob

If we look back to history, we will find where the word Key fob comes from. People believe that the Key Fob originated from the word Watch Fob, which existed as early as 1888. "Fob" refers to an ornament that is attached to a pocket-watch chain. There are many other devices called "Fob" or "Key fob" such as Key chains, remote car starters, garage door openers, and keyless entry devices on hotel room doors etc.

Advantage of Key Fob

The biggest advantage of using Key Fob is ensuring the security!

In 2019, about 750,000 vehicles were stolen in the United States—and nearly half of those thefts took place due to a mistake made by the owner.

Only the right key fob is able to unlock the owner's vehicle, and this happens because each one is unique and specially programmed for that vehicle. If the owner doesn't have the key fob, quite simply, he will not be able to access it. This prevents hackers and thieves from using this technology to steal your vehicle or your belongings inside it.

So, in case you lose your keys, you don't need to panic, because your key fob will not grant access to any other vehicle rather than yours and vice versa: nobody will be able to access your vehicle with a different key fob. This happens because of their codes, which are totally unique.

The importance of having an extra key for your car is clear. And here at Locksmith Keyless, we are willing to help you to get one Spare Key for your car and grant you peace of mind in the process.
